General Community Resistant to Healer Damage?

[Sylve]

I was actually thinking of casual DF. PF pugs can be hit or miss. And even then, I think 40% is still an overstatement given the massive amount of oGDCs we have (unless the group is an absolute disaster, in which case you have bigger issues than healer dps).

But to reiterate, I think its fair to expect someone to utilize at least ~75% of their GCD time usefully in any level of play. If that time is filled with useful healing then fine. But otherwise I expect them to sit on that dps button.

Of course. I've never disagreed with wanting Healers to be more active. I take issue with elements of the community (Which is a depressingly large element -_-) who unfairly attack Healers for not doing what they think a healer should be doing.

But you said it yourself, DF and PF is hit or miss. Sometimes you win and get that perfect group who nails every mechanic and sometimes you get that group that needs to be Raised 29 times (I counted, Never change E4 Titan).
Ours is the only Role whose primary activity is predicated on how good the Party is as a whole. Which is why i push for more unavoidable damage that isnt on a clock.
Tanks gonna Tank and DPS gonna kill. Doesn't matter how the rest of the party performs for them, what they need to do doesn't change. Not so for Healers. Every run is a difference experience sometimes, lol.
